Parents are a troubled lot these days. They always want the best for their kids, yet their kids are busy with their peers and other effects of society. In the midst of television shows that are becoming increasingly violent and tablets that offer unrestricted access to kids, perhaps among the latest electronic gadgets what kids really need is a special tablet exclusively for kids.
Answering the call for need for such a device is the new Micromax Canvas Tabby P469, a tablet that is aimed at kids, being both creative and educational. This tablet offers special games and apps that are aimed at increasing the knowledge of kids, like special spelling games and pictures of fruits and alphabets. It is also aimed at slightly bigger kids, as it lets your kid paint and indulge in other fun activities as well. It also comes with a special bumper case that aims to let you keep in upright when watching videos, and which also protects the tab, in case your kid accidentally drops it.
However, this tablet won’t be an investment exclusively for kids. It is an Android tablet that can serve parents as well. You can monitor it by not only creating your own private profile on it but can make up to three different profiles for your different kids, depending on their age and likes, so that each of their content is safeguarded from the other. You can also put a time manager for your kids, so that they don’t spend too much time on the tablet.
However does the Micromax Canvas Tabby P469 really manage to answer all the questions? Is a kids tab all that kids really need? Kids nowadays aren’t as innocent as they used to be. Hence, you can easily expect even the youngest of them to break codes and easily shift into adult mode of the tablet. Plus, why does the answer to everyone’s problems have to come from among the latest electronic gadgets anyway? Wasn’t there a time when parents grew up without any such devices? Wasn’t there a time when the best way to pass time was to actually go out in the sun and play and tire ourselves out, so that we could then go back home fully exhausted but satisfied that the day was full of fun?
Nowadays, the only playing that kids know is when it comes to playing video games on the phone and tablets. Playing football means using just your thumbs and nothing else. Maybe this needs to stop altogether. Maybe what we really need is kids to be kids and remember their childhood as one where they spent most of it running outside, with their mothers then tending to their scratched knees and bruised legs. However, till we go back to such a time, there will always be something to choose from the latest electronic gadgets and if you still wish to at least choose the lesser of the evils present, a kid tab is a good start.
